Singapore GP ALL ACCESS 2.0 at the F1 Pit Building

Venue: F1 Pit Building
Dates: 26 Jun - 26 Jul 2026
Admission: Free with registration

Following a massive turnout last year, ALL ACCESS 2.0 has returned with an even larger interactive layout, making it a perfect educational and high-octane morning or afternoon out for parents and kids alike.

The experience gets you past the usual barriers and straight into highly restricted zones. Your little racing fans can stand on the actual victory podium, check out the drivers' cool-down room, and even enter the high-tech Race Control nerve centre—the exact room where race officials monitor every corner of the track on race weekend. It is a fantastic way for children to see how Singapore's regular streets are transformed into a global circuit.

Beyond the technical zones, kids can get hands-on by inspecting real track building blocks like heavy-duty TECPRO barriers and steel kerbs. They can even step into a professional commentary booth by beIN SPORTS Asia to try calling a race live on the mic.

To top it off, every family visiting gets the opportunity to win exclusive tickets to fan favourite events. Find out more here.
